C# Coding Standard

Rule: 6@118

This rule is Obsolete
Synopsis:	Do not use selection statements `(if, switch)` instead of a simple assignment or initialization
Language:	C#
Severity Level:	5
Category:	Control flow

Description:

Express your intentions directly. For example, rather than

bool pos;
if (val > 0)
{
	pos = true;
}
else
{
	pos = false;
}

or (slightly better)

bool pos = (val > 0) ? true : false;

write

bool isPositiveValue;
isPositiveValue = (val > 0);		// single assignment

or even better

bool isPositiveValue = (val > 0);	// initialization
